About Todd Fitch

Just a good old boy, never meanin' no harm. A fan of nearly all things automotive from '20s Packards to Formula 1. As a self-taught mechanic, I've made plenty of mistakes, but I try to do *something* better every time I walk into the garage. Interesting cars I've owned include my first car, a German-built 1973 Mercury Capri, a string of GMs large and small, an '84 Dodge Colt GTS Turbo, '91 Nissan Sentra SE-R, '66 Dodge Coronet, the '89 Mustang LX 5.0 I bought new in '88 and still own, and my two current project cars: a 1972 BMW 2002 tii and a 1981 Imperial.
